This is an old track but look at the wind speeds. At 7/06Z the winds were125kts/143.847 At 7/18Zthe winds are predicted to be 115kts/132.340mph ![]() From the JMA http://www.jma.go.jp/en/typh/ ![]() TY 1324 (DANAS) Issued at 12:50 UTC, 7 October 2013 Analyses at 07/12 UTC> Scale - Intensity Very Strong Center position N28°05'(28.1°) E127°40'(127.7°) Direction and speed of movement NNW 30km/h(17kt) Central pressure 935hPa Maximum wind speed near the center 50m/s(100kt) Maximum wind gust speed 70m/s(140kt) Area of 50kt winds or more ALL130km(70NM) Area of 30kt winds or more NE390km(210NM) SW220km(120NM) <Estimate for 07/13 UTC> Scale - Intensity Very Strong Center position N28°25'(28.4°) E127°30'(127.5°) Direction and speed of movement NNW 30km/h(17kt) Central pressure 935hPa Maximum wind speed near the center 50m/s(100kt) Maximum wind gust speed 70m/s(140kt) Area of 50kt winds or more ALL130km(70NM) Area of 30kt winds or more NE390km(210NM) SW220km(120NM) <Forecast for 07/18 UTC> Intensity Very Strong Center position of probability circle N29°30'(29.5°) E127°00'(127.0°) Direction and speed of movement NNW 30km/h(17kt) Central pressure 935hPa Maximum wind speed near the center 50m/s(100kt) Maximum wind gust speed 70m/s(140kt) Radius of probability circle 60km(30NM) Storm warning area ALL190km(100NM) <Forecast for 08/00 UTC> Intensity Very Strong Center position of probability circle N30°50'(30.8°) E126°35'(126.6°) Direction and speed of movement NNW 30km/h(15kt) Central pressure 940hPa Maximum wind speed near the center 50m/s(95kt) Maximum wind gust speed 70m/s(135kt) Radius of probability circle 90km(50NM) Storm warning area ALL220km(120NM) <Forecast for 08/06 UTC> Intensity Very Strong Center position of probability circle N32°00'(32.0°) E127°10'(127.2°) Direction and speed of movement NE 25km/h(14kt) Central pressure 945hPa Maximum wind speed near the center 45m/s(90kt) Maximum wind gust speed 65m/s(130kt) Radius of probability circle 130km(70NM) Storm warning area ALL260km(140NM) <Forecast for 08/12 UTC> Intensity Strong Center position of probability circle N33°05'(33.1°) E128°20'(128.3°) Direction and speed of movement NNE 25km/h(14kt) Central pressure 955hPa Maximum wind speed near the center 40m/s(80kt) Maximum wind gust speed 60m/s(115kt) Radius of probability circle 160km(85NM) Storm warning area ALL280km(150NM) If I am correct the clouds west of Danas are part of the remanents from 22W.FITOW, it imho makes a beautiful picture. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
